Hyndburn Park School

Barrie Yates · 12-07-2009, 09:10

I have noticed that there are threads for most schools in and arround Accrington - yet there isn't one for Hyndburn Park School. I didn't attend there but a number of friends did in the early '50s - football matches at lunchtime on the rec, firework fights leading up to 5 November - all in good spirits.
Is there anyone around whowent there during that period?
Regards,
Barrie

My cousin used to live on Park Road in the 50s Barry although he didn't go to Hyndburn Park School, but I can remember playing football on the Rec and messing about on Nelsons Square and Gatty and Milnshaw Park

Hi Barrie..I attended Hyndburn Park in the 50's..started in the infants..then went through the junior school (I think headmaster was Mr Fradley) and then went into the senior school 1956..but I left towards the end of the first year in 1957 when I was nearly 12 yrs old.........would love to see any pictures from these years, if anybody has any..

As you know,Barrie, I was in the junior school until 1952. If I can work out how I'll put the photo I sent you on here-I know you know one of the people on it! Unless you know how to do it?-I mean put a photo up!
AccyGirl must have been 4 years behind me.

May get some information on the photo tomorrow night, will also ask the experts on how to post a pic. If anyone wants a copy then PM me with an email address to send it to.

Hi AngleIron.....
I wonder if we are the same age...as you mention leaving Hollins in 1969...
I was born 1945..and went to Hyndburn Park from about 1949 to 1957....leaving at the end of the first year in the seniors...........do you have any pictures from those days?

AccyGirl · 01-11-2010, 11:47

this picture was taken around 1955 (I was born 1945, so just guessing at my age on the pic)..hoping somebody has a group picture......
